Spa Sunday

I had a great spa day with my mom today! She is the best and invited me to enjoy an indulgent day with her. After yesterday’s 18 miler I was more than ready to spa it up

This morning I took a little walk before breakfast. Quiet Sunday morning walks are my favorite.

After breakfast I headed to meet my mom at the house. Our first stop was the nail salon for manicures and pedicures. These are my ‘before’ feet, I didn’t get a picture of the ‘after’ but wanted to share this in case you’re here for the foot fetish aspect of this blog. Hey, I’m here to help.

Then, we went tried out a new-to-us spa and got massages. Oh my gosh I needed this. But I was a little embarrassed that my all my bug bites from Florida left red spots all over my back

After we were all noodle-y from our massages we went to have lunch/dinner/food. It was about 4pm so I don’t know what to call it.

Moscato ‘cause we like it sweet

I got the Cobb Salad, hold the bacon and bleu cheese add cucs and bell peppers. I like to call it Cobb Salad hold the Cobb.

Then, we went shopping and my mom bought me two shirts. She was being so nice I’m afraid she thinks I’m going to die soon or something. I hope she doesn’t have a crystal ball I don’t know about.

The Peak of my week was this big ol’ cup of frozen yogurt with six dollars worth of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My early lunch/dinner left me hungry around 7pm and I raided my mom’s fridge for beans, rice and enchilada casserole later in the evening. No pics, but I’m sure you’ve seen those foods on RER before

Question: What did you do this weekend? What is your favorite ice crean topping?

When I used to go to ‘non-self serve’ fro-yo places I would ALWAYS get granola as my topping. I LOVEgranola more than anything (except the fro-yo itself).

We went to the MN Gopher Football game…nice day but kind of boring…No college sports fan here…then to a Mexican restaurant where I chowed the “salad” which really was glorified nachos with lettuce (YUM)! Next, we walked the Mall Of America to “reflect on our years” and realized marriage is WORK and its HARD WORK but worth it for sure!

Small things make a BIG Difference!!

Finally, on our way home we stopped at a local bar got in on happy hour 2 for 1’s and shared a huge piece of chocolate cake that I totally regretted b/c I was stuffed for HOURS….like really stuffed….my stomach hurt so much we walked the neighborhood to move it around even…ha!

Woman, you do not know bug bites until you come to Peru. Wait, i spoiling tell you that in bring to convince you to come here. I blame my Asian genes to the sensitive-ness of bug bites. Btw, ill be home October 6. Less than a month!

Ha! You’re like my husband at the self-serve places! Mine’s always around $3, and his is around $6. Things were put into perspective this weekend though, when the lady in front of us had frozen yogurt that cost more that hubs and mine put together…over $9! My fav topings are raspberries and mochis! Yum yum!

18 Miles. You are such a badass. Nicely done.
No matter what flavor of Yogurt I chose I always get Strawberries, yogurt chips, almonds, and raspberries. The little man always gets 3-4 types of chocolate and some strawberries.

LOL about why you think your mom is being so nice to you. Monica, that is hilarious but you are so mean to yourself! That happened to me this weekend too actually- my family asked what I wanted for dinner and since I’m a superpicky mostly vegan and they are absolutely not, I’m like, whatttt are they not telling me?!

I went to a natural running clinic Saturday morning. My feet were filthy, but I learned a lot. I could have used pedicure after that. Maybe this week? My favorite topping is probably crushed oreos or raspberries. Fruit in general is usually included in my mix.
